> 陸ではのらくらしとっても水の中ではそりゃあ素早い

I don't quite understand しとっても form here.

I guess the whole sentence will be

> Even though they're slow on land, they're very quick in water.

Is しとっても another form of していても or しておいても?

What しとっても means here?


のらくらしとっても is a contraction of のらくらしておっても, which is a dialectal version of
のらくらしていても.

  * In casual speech, [て + おる contracts to とる](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/18157/%E3%81%A6%E3%81%8A%E3%81%8F-%E3%81%A8%E3%81%8F-for-preparation-conjugation-and-nuance/18159#18159).
  * This おる is the same as progressive-いる, but used mainly in western Japan. See: [おる in honorific contexts](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/26091/5010)
